wine users - Nov 2009 - Run-time error 8020

Hello,

First time here but a long time fan.

I have a VB6 application that uses COM port calls. Most of it seems to run fine
except that I get a pop up with:


Code:
Run-time error 8020



and the app dies after I hit OK. Wine's log output says:


Code:
fixme:comm:GetCommProperties (0x6c 0x32f56c )



I narrowed it down to a MSComm1.Input statement. As soon as it hits that, it
dies. I've tried playing with the input parms and reducing the input buffers
from the current 1024 to 64 and even to 1 as a test but it still fails. The app
opens the COM port successfully (or so it says)

I've copied all of the native DLL, etc to the app directory and have also
tried a VB6 runtime package I found posted somewhere. Neither has fixed the COM
error issue.

I'm running Wine 1.0.1 installed from the Ubuntu 9.10 packages (not built
from source).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
JR

I don't think it'll help, but just to be sure you should upgrade to
the latest (development) release of Wine.

The COM port code is in kernel32, so native dll's won't help you here.

I suggest getting a log with WINEDEBUG=+comm. GetCommProperties is
probably not the source of the failure.
